Today on English at The Movies we tell you about the saying "set things right." It is from the animation film called "Spark: A Space Tail." Spark is a monkey who joins his friends to take back their world from an evil general. Originally published at - http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/...

# set something right and make something right; make something good; put something right--to correct something; to alter a situation to make it more fair. This is a very unfortunate situation. I'll ask the people responsible to set this matter right. I'm sorry that we overcharged you. We'll try to put it right. I know I owe you some money, but don't worry, I'll make it good.
